The user recovers 1/16 of its max HP after each turn, but it cannot be switched out or forced to switch out. If a Flying-type Pokemon or a Pokemon with Levitate comes under the effect of Ingrain, it will no longer have immunity from Ground-type attacks.

When used by a Ghost-type, the user sacrifices half of its max HP to sap the target by 1/4 of its max HP per turn. When used by anything else, the user's Speed is decreased by 1 stage and its Attack and Defense are increased by 1 stage.
